We know lots about online fundraising at Qgiv. But we don’t have a ton of experience with offline fundraising, which is super important to a nonprofit’s health. Offline relationships — especially with major donors — are critical… so we’re thrilled to have Claire Axelrad do a webinar with us on how to make a great ask from a major donor.

Claire runs a blog called Clairification, which is chock-full of awesome insights. Check out this article, for example: it breaks down how to lay a foundation of offline interactions, learn about your major donor, and make an effective ask.

The webinar will cover:

  • 3 Keys to Overcome Asking Anxiety
  • Get the Visit
  • Determine Your Ask Amount
  • Prepare and Practice
  • How to Open
  • Make your Passionate Pitch
  • Conversation: Listen and Observe
  • Specific Ask
  • Silence is Golden
  • Overcome Resistance
  • Close and Follow Up
  • Avoid Common Pitfalls

Claire’s webinar is on January 10 — want to attend? You can learn more about the webinar and register to attend.
